Jindal and AB Energia setup Odisha's largest captive industrial solar plant
Industry News- Apr 23,25
This ground-breaking initiative boasts a cumulative capacity of over 30 MWp, making it the largest captive solar energy plant within a single industrial campus in Odisha.
India’s largest stainless steel manufacturer, Jindal Stainless, and one of India’s leading clean energy solution providers, AB Energia Solutions Pvt Ltd, announced the successful installation and commissioning of a pioneering solar energy project at Jindal Stainless’ manufacturing unit in Jajpur, Odisha. This ground-breaking initiative boasts a cumulative capacity of over 30 MWp, making it the largest captive solar energy plant within a single industrial campus in Odisha.
The solar energy plant installed by Jindal Stainless at its Jajpur unit in partnership with AB Energia comprises a 7.324 MWp floating solar plant and a 23.02 MWp rooftop solar system. The state-of-the-art plant is capable of generating approximately 44.3 million units (MU) of green energy annually, significantly reducing the Jajpur unit’s dependence on conventional grid electricity. This is equivalent to powering 12,000-15,000 households or cutting CO2 emissions by 32,208 metric tonnes annually.
Key highlights:
? Largest captive solar plant in Odisha: Jindal Stainless’ Jajpur unit now hosts Odisha’s largest captive green energy generation plant.
? Innovative installation: The project is a showcase of both scale and innovation, seamlessly blending AB Energia’s engineering expertise with Jindal Stainless’ commitment to sustainability. It features a 7.324 MWp floating solar plant ingeniously deployed on an internal reservoir— transforming previously unused water bodies into productive assets that not only generate clean energy but also help reduce water evaporation. Complementing this, a 23.02 MWp rooftop solar system has been installed across 10 industrial roofs at varying elevations, making optimal use of available space and maximising energy output.
? Environmental Impact: The initiative will reduce CO? emissions by 32,208 metric tonnes each year—equivalent to planting 1,288 trees annually—significantly decreasing the facility’s dependence on conventional grid electricity.
Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless said, “At Jindal Stainless, we’re accelerating our progress towards achieving our net zero goals and investing in sustainable infrastructure through strategic partnerships. The commissioning of Odisha’s largest captive solar energy plant at our Jajpur facility is a major leap in this journey. We are redefining the future of stainless steel manufacturing in India by integrating innovative renewable energy solutions and staying accountable to global sustainability standards.”
“Delivering this landmark project at Jindal Stainless’ Jajpur facility exemplifies AB Energia’s commitment to pioneering sustainable energy solutions. By transforming unused water bodies into productive assets and optimizing rooftop spaces, we are setting new benchmarks for green innovation in India’s industrial sector. By enabling a transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable sources, projects like this not only drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also enhance operational efficiency, cost stability, and long-term competitiveness for industrial players. As demand for low-carbon ‘green steel’ rises globally, such initiatives position Indian industry at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing, ensuring resilience and relevance in a rapidly evolving market landscape” said Siddharth Bhatia, Managing Director, AB Energia Solutions Pvt Ltd.
